Hello, Chinmay! Welcome to LibriVox. I apologize for being away, as our daughter was getting married.Chinmay wrote: ↑June 7th, 2021, 2:00 am Hi
I would like to read 'The story of Vickramadit', an ancient Indian legend from the book 'Simla Village Tales; Or, Folk Tales from the Himalayas by Alice Dracott' (Link: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/58816). Please allow me to proceed.
I am a new member of the forum.

This would be a lovely addition to the Myths and Legends Around the World project. This project is a little different from most audiobook projects, in that you will go ahead and record the story, then submit it according to the instructions on the first post - rather than having a section reserved to you ahead of time. If submissions get turned in ahead of yours and fill all 12 slots, your story will simply be placed in the Collection 10 files which would then be opened.
Before you record your story, though, you will want to do the 1-Minute Test and post the file to the Listeners & Editors Wanted board? It's not actually a test or audition of any kind, but is solely meant to make sure your system is set properly before you do all the work of a real section.
Here is the link: 1-Minute Test
That page contains a link for using Audacity, if that's the software you're recording with: Audacity 1-2-3
Each of these pages has specific step-by-step help for getting everything set up the way our files need to be done for the Archive. And if something is going whacky, Listeners & Editors is the board where folks will offer help.
Glad to have you with us!
